Before you start tearing the motor apart, check your oil pressure sensor unit.

It's plugged into your oil cooler adapter unit right next to your oil filter. There should be one wire going into it. Make sure it's not broken/cut.

The oil inside this area sometimes cruds up and the pressure sensor will not get a reading. You can try unsrewing it to see if the crud is the cause. Clean it if necessary.
